1.0
I personally couldn't stand any of the main characters. I can't even remember their names now that's how much I didn't connect or care about them in the slightest.
**SPOILERS**
The plot follows an author and his wife, his son, and dog. The author is a bumbling idiot and the only thing he's good at is writing books. Everytime he opens his mouth it's about how he's good at writing. But he can't even carry a vacuum with creating "the vacuum incident." The wife, is a bad-ass woman who's good at everything. Her parents were demolition techs and doomsday preppers. She's well versed with guns, and yet manages to "jokingly" put a pistol to her husband's head to tell him to repeat something... Their son, is a 6 year old prodigy genius that creates impossible scientific feats. And doesn't tell his parents what he's doing. They ask, hey what's this thing? And the son just repeats "something" over and over. It's infuriating.
Not to mention the entire plot of the book makes zero sense. Our author gets a bad book review and it sets up the reviewer to stalk/attack/kill his family.
Safe to say I did not like this book.
